We truly are the new invisible generation. I have an ultra specialized job in a hyper specialized field, but if I lost this job there are less than 20 companies in the entire world who could hire me. And why hire me when you can get a Millennial or Zoomer to do it for 2/3 my cost? They won’t be as good or have as wide a network, but they will be good enough .
And I say this as a man actively training my number 1 to take over the departments I run eventually.
